Floating-Point Error Handling in C++: What Actually Works - Johnny's Software Lab
Floating-point errors are unavoidable, but how you detect and handle them can make the difference between clean, high-performance C++ code and a debugging nightmare. In this article, we explore the practical techniques for handling NaNs, infinities, and other FP errors — from manual checks to sticky bits and hardware traps — and reveal which approaches actually work without sabotaging performance.

With California's "Jungle Primary" the top two vote getters, of *any* party, move on to the general election. Everyone else goes home and won't be on the November ballot.
The D's were unable to realize that they needed to focus an…
